The internationally recognized Southeast Florida Regional Climate Change Compact was created in 2010 by Broward, Miami-Dade, Monroe, and Palm Beach counties to coordinate and collaborate on climate change action across county lines and is a leading example of regional-scale climate action.
“Monroe County continues to be committed to ensuring resilience efforts and remaining in the forefront and ahead of the cumulative effects of climate change,” said Haag. "For the county, planning for climate change and sea-level rise must be integrated into all our decision-making for a cohesive response."
Monroe County has taken a leading role in the regional effort to combat climate change and adapt to rising seas. The county is continuing its coordination and activities with the four-county compact.
